Very Friendly, Helpful and Focused
Becky was a fantastic choice and captured our wedding exactly in the style which we wanted. She was very friendly, helpful, focused and a lot of the time we hardly knew she was there, however, this didn't stop her from getting the perfect shots every time. Thanks to Becky we have an awesome collection of memories to look back on forever. We are so grateful for all her hard work.

Becky from diamond shots has a true talent for photography...
Becky from diamond shots has a true talent for photography, having seen her work and speaking to her, I knew there was no one else I wanted to take pictures on our day.
Being nervous of having my picture taken, Becky put me at ease and made me love having my picture taken, at times I didn't even know she was there, and because of this she had some amazing natural shots that I will cherish forever.
I can't thank her enough for leaving me with the most beautiful memories of the best day of my life

I was extremely pleased...
I was extremely pleased and impressed with the excellent level of service we received from Becky from start to finish. I was most impressed with her interpretation and understanding of the kind of shots I wanted, with a selection of posed and candid shots. Her presence was subtle and unobtrusive which led to her capturing many special moments I wasn't even aware she was there for. She really went the extra mile with the editing, expertly photo shopping images to our requirements.

FAQ

What is your most memorable wedding?
My most memorable wedding has to be a wedding held on Friday the 13th at Malmesbury Abbey House and Gardens. The theme of the wedding was Alice in Wonderland and all of the guests were asked to come in fancy dress. The costumes were amazing! It was the hottest day of the year and everyone was melting but a great time was still had by all.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Relaxed, natural, creative, fun, unobtrusive.
What about your business are you most proud of?
I work hard to provide every single Bride and Groom the best service I can offer. Whether they go for a small package or the biggest package around, every wedding gets the same care and attention.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Get your photographer booked not long after your venue. I have some bookings up to 2 years in advance so to avoid disappointment, book when you can!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
My favourite personal touch as to be when a Bride has spent all the hours in the world creating little things herself. Whether it's for budget reasons or not, it's really lovely to see.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I'd like to think that the process I go through with my couples is relatively simple. We would discuss the details of their day and tailor their chosen package to fit. Next is the boring bit of filling out a few bits of paper work and sign a contract. Once the couples retainer fee has then been received we arrange a date for their engagement photo shoot. This can be done either in their choice of a local outdoor location or my studio. I then contact the couple 4 weeks before the big day to finalise the timing details and for payment of their balance. In between, they always know that I am only on the other end of the phone or e-mail. After the wedding, once the photos have been edited and are ready, they are uploaded to a private web page for the couple, friends and family to view. We would then discuss options for their USB and/or album. If an album has been chosen, I will start work on the design. When ready, the couple will be provided with the proofs. Once the couple are 100% happy with the album it then goes off to be printed in the Italian studio. About 4-6 weeks later the album arrives and I personally deliver it to the couple and wish them a long and happy life together.
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
Photos are precious memories, everyone of them just as important as the other. If there was just one photo, it would have to be close family and friends. You never know when it may be too late for this photo to be taken again.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
The most original photo has to be a detailed shot of the grooms braces as the ones he was wearing were a tribute to his late Grandfather.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
The only element of the big day that can not be booked in advance! Most venues have locations that photos can be taken inside. If they don't then we can take advantage of the church or even nip outside in between the showers!
Describe how you got into photography.
I have loved photography from a young age, ever since my Father placed his camera in my hand. Back in 2011 my husband suggested that I go for it professionally as our kids were growing up and it was my turn to do something for me. So I found a local photography tutor who taught me everything photography related, from practical to business, everything was covered. The rest as they say is history!
